Baby's One Pot Meals

Vegetable Tahri

I have very fond memories of my sister cooking these one pot meals. The trick she says is to cook a small amount. These recipes do not work well if you are feeding a big crowd.

Serve with big dollop of ghee, pickle and mix of pyaz, tamatar and muli.

Ingredients:

Vegetables
Green Beans
Carrots
Cauliflower
Peas
Potatoes
Onion
Rice

Khara Masala
Jeera
Black Pepper
Long
Elachi
Dalchini

Ground Spices
Haldi
Mirch
Namak

Steps:


  • Soak rice for an hour. Drain
  • Cut the vegetables into small pieces
  • Add ghee into pot
  • When hot add Jeera. Add onions. Add the khara masala. Fry
  • Add the cut vegetables. Fry a little bit
  • Add the rice and fry until well coated.
  • Add the masala. Mix well. Add water
  • Cook until rice is done.
